Still driving that 2000 4x4 Tacoma with over 726,000 miles on it. Dang....very impressive. Hope you make it to the million mile mark. That is like god level in the automotive world. In all my years in the automobile trade I've only seen that twice. One was a older Dodge van that had the engine changed 5 times and the transmission 4 times.

2000 Toyota 4-runner, 215k miles. Been driving it for about 2 years now. Replaced brakes and a radiator. I think the total of both repairs was less than $500.
Just give me one thing, that I can hold on to. To believe in this livin' is just a hard way to go.

1994 Nissan hardbody. Odo stopped working at 315k. Sold it to a guy 250 miles away. I've seen it twice since then in my town, 10 years after I sold it. Identified by the hsu sticker still on the tailgate.
I have a 2016 f250 gasser with 110k. Definitely not a beater, just a few interactions with a tractor bucket and a trailer that came off without a hitch. 6.2 is a boss. 7.3 gasser may be in its future.

In all my years in the automobile trade I've only seen that twice. One was a older Dodge van that had the engine changed 5 times and the transmission 4 times. Same original engine with only a rear main seal replaced and valve cover gaskets. That 3.4 v-6 is dang near bullet proof if you keep the oil changed regularly. Won't make the million miles. Racked up those miles while beaver trapping for timber companies driving around 35,000 miles a year. It had 110,000 miles on it when I bought it in 2004. It was my beaver trapping truck from 2004 - 2022. Retired from that a couple of years ago.
